Last year Pittsburgh had a sit-down strike against post-season games; this year its Freshman team was incensed at the lackadaisical manner in which their tuition was cared for. Now the college wants to go simon-pure. At Notre Dame an enterprising student recently issued a pronouncing gazeteer so that the public might become better acquainted with the far-flung "fighting Irish." But Mr. Hutchins says that only a handful of students are in big-time college football; Notre Dame combats this by acquiring plenty of players. They used eighty-eight men in one game, four Irish and eighty...
This is no plea for bigger-time football. But there can be a balance between the football of Pittsburgh and Notre Dame and the football of the dime admission, which Mr. Hutchins advocates. It is just this happy medium at which Harvard is attempting to arrive through having on the one hand a decent amateur football team and on the other an endowment plan. This endowment plan will in the future mean that Harvard's athletic program will not depend solely on up and down football gate receipts. The plan is an infant now, but an infant with giant possibilities...

A good early season team, and a flashy and "break" outfit, the Blaikmen of 1938 are not by any means in a class with Cornell (who beat them), Carnegie Tech, Pittsburgh, Holy Cross, or Villanova.

Coach Jock Sutherland of Pittsburgh backed up this argument the other day when he was asked to name ten eastern teams which could win the majority of their games in the South. He called Carnegie Tech, Holy Cross, Pitt, Cornell, Dartmouth, Villanova, Harvard, Brown, Georgetown, and Army. Although he denied any special order, the order he named was by no means casual. Perhaps even at fifth, the Big Green was too high...
